The actors in Chasing the Shadow are Wu Zhenyu, Wu Peici, Fang Zuming, Nana and Du Yiheng.
In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, black and white martial arts masters, a security guard, an escort head and a thief head gathered in Beijing to compete for the treasure map of the founding of Taizu, while Ye He Changgong and Ryukyu Ninja Mingyuexin, the first masters outside the customs, came here for different purposes. All the masters fought for the treasure map from the palace to the border town, and the treasure map suddenly disappeared.
In order to hide their identity and find the treasure map conveniently, Ye He Changgong and Mingyuexin pretended to be husband and wife as innkeepers, and other masters also opened their own stores. However, Xu Sanguan (Fang Zuming), the landlord of the town, doesn't know this small land. He often bullies all the owners and asks for rent and debts. Everyone has to bear the burden of humiliation in order to conceal his Jianghu identity. But Xu Sanguan took a fancy to Mingyuexin and the adopted daughter of this longbow, and the mayor Gu took a fancy to Mingyuexin, so the relationship between towns became complicated. At this time, the sudden accident appeared, and all the experts had to push it again.
The story of this film is ironic by contrast. Finally, when we found the treasure of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our expectations and results were completely different, which made us embarrassed again and again, resulting in the greatest black humor in the film.
